WE ARE ALL SLAVES
Romans 6:17-18
But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Personal challenge
Let's face it, freedom is an allusion. Now before you put up your fists to take me on, hear me out. From a human point of view, we are all slaves to our desires, our passions, and ultimately our sins. How else has the saying, "The devil made me do it." become so popular. We may be "free" to do whatever we want, but we still have to pay the price or receive the consequences, for our choices. Paul is reminding the Romans, and us, that when we choose to obey Christ, his teachings, and His doctrines, then we become slaves to Him, but we receive freedom from our sins. This is truly a choice worth making. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
